Our prediction for this match:
Serbia will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games in all competitions when they face Jordan in a friendly at Generali Arena. Key attackers Luka Jovic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, and Dusan Vlahovic are all sidelined with injuries and, as a result, Los Angeles Galaxy striker Dejan Joveljic should lead the line for the nominal hosts. The likes of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Dusan Tadic, and Filip Kostic did make the cut.
Jordan, meanwhile, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Philippines, but they will have a mountain to climb in Friday’s clash. Serbia boss Dragan Stojkovic has a number of high-profile players to choose from, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the European side. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Al-Hussein attacker Hamza Al-Dardour, who has netted 32 goals in 106 appearances for the Jordan national team.
